The Schiebroek neighbourhood
Schiebroek has a mixed reputation among residents. One resident calls it "Prettig" and says: "It's like a small village, you can cycle or walk everywhere comfortably. There's also public transport, which makes it even easier to get around. Not too far from the centre." Another resident, however, describes it as "Ghetto Schiebroek" and complains about litter and pavement cycling. A third notes that "Schiebroek has deteriorated a lot in 5 years." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.48 out of 10. The area is densely built with a mix of families and singles, and most homes were built between 1945 and 1970.

Frequently asked questions
About Paltroklaan 37, Rotterdam
Was €385,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €385,000 was 25% below the average asking price in Schiebroek (€512,500) and also below the median of €450,000. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (73 m² vs 103 m²). Given the lower price per square metre (€5,274 vs the neighbourhood average of €4,930), it appeared priced for its size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale: it is not the most efficient, but also not the least. Expect moderate energy costs compared to a label A or B home. The label does not directly indicate the condition of the insulation or heating system.
